HONOLULU — Hawaiʻi Pacific University Athletics will make three trips to the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa this week as the Sharks' men's basketball, women's basketball, and softball programs take on the Rainbow Warriors and Rainbow Wahine in exhibition competition.
All three contests are free and open to the public, giving fans an opportunity to support the Sharks as they prepare for their upcoming seasons.
The action begins Wednesday, October 21, when the HPU women's basketball team faces the Rainbow Wahine at 7 p.m. The Sharks will get an early opportunity to test themselves against Division I competition ahead of the 2026–27 season.
On Thursday, October 22, the HPU softball team will take the field against Hawaiʻi at 5:30 p.m. The exhibition provides the Sharks with an opportunity to compete against a familiar island opponent during their fall schedule.
The week concludes Sunday, October 25, when the HPU men's basketball team squares off against the Rainbow Warriors at 5 p.m. The matchup offers the Sharks an early test before beginning their 2026–27 campaign.
